I’ve been quiet for a while.
New kinds of work have whooshed into my life and tuned my brainwaves into a different frequency, one that so far hasn’t allotted me much mind space to muse at Emily En Route. Well, not without sacrificing my self care, and if you read my recent post about your bangin’ body, you know how important I feel it is we take care of ourselves, which usually means not staying up till all hours so I can write. (Except, of course, when writing into the wee hours is more energizing than sleep, which occasionally does happen.)
Suddenly, in the course of my introspection on how I can fit both work and writing into my already full life, a spotlight pointed to the poetry-loving part of my brain, reminding me I still have a generous slew of thank-you haikus to write for friends who subscribed to my blog before its October 11 one-year anniversary. So, I’m very happily picking back up with my haiku-writing project. And I will resume with four women I adore.
Lucila D.
You’ve got that chispa
Magnanimous heart, sharp mind
La que es linda…
Cindy S.
Your heart beats with verve
If spunk and grace had a kid
She’d be just like you
Alicia I.H.
Miracles happen
When you show souls the power
That’s always been theirs

Elevating all

Reading about a busy, working mom who is prioritizing self-care is refreshing and inspiring. When inspiration strikes and time allows, I would love to hear some musings on becoming an aunt!
Heart full of gratitude and appreciation. Thank you my beautiful friend xxxx
